Definition
Let $\struct {S, \circ, \preceq}$ be an ordered semigroup.
An ordered semigroup automorphism from $\struct {S, \circ, \preceq}$ to itself is a mapping $\phi: S \to S$ that is both:
- $(1): \quad$ A semigroup automorphism, that is, a semigroup isomorphism from the semigroup $\struct {S, \circ}$ to itself
- $(2): \quad$ An order isomorphism from the ordered set $\struct {S, \preceq}$ to itself.

Linguistic Note
The word automorphism derives from the Greek morphe (μορφή) meaning form or structure, with the prefix iso- meaning equal.
Thus automorphism means self structure.
